The Switchbacks avenged their 2015 playoff loss to Oklahoma City Energy FC with a 2-1 victory at Taft Stadium
When the schedule was released earlier this year, no opening weekend game had more shine on it than the Western Conference Semi-final rematch between Colorado Springs and Oklahoma City. In all three matchups last year, each game was decided in the dying minutes, and in the case of the playoff match, it took 120 minutes and PKs to decide the winner. The USL knew it potentially had an instant classic by pitting these two teams together to kick off the season.
